Trained by Brazilian Fabio “Pateta” Prado at
Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, Calif., Burnsed landed in Brazil
with one only loss, but will return to the U.S. with a brutal
knockout loss as a gift “Massaranduba.”

The Brazilian lightweight prospect used heavy punches to damage his
opponent, who himself showed flashes of brilliance at times with
precisely-executed head kicks. Well prepared, Drinaldo stopped
Burnsed’s takedowns and controlled the pace. At the beginning of
the second round, “Massaranduba” showed excellent timing with a
one-two that cracked his prey on the jaw and sealed his third
consecutive victory.

“I think was a good fight, but I can do better,” said Drinaldo. “I
trained a lot, but, next time I’ll back to show another great
performance.”

As confirmed by Jungle Fight promoter Wallid
Ismail, Drinaldo now will meet Adriano
Martins to fight for the definitive crown at a tentative July
date.

Exactly one month after crushing Renato
Velame at Jungle Fight 27, bantamweight prospect John
Lineker secured his 11th win in a row with a slick knockout of
Luiz
“Salgadinho” Carlos Salgado at 1:11 of the opening period.
Lineker honored his nickname “Hammer Hands” (Maos de Pedra, in
Portuguese) to overcome a large height disadvantage.

Known for his brutal low kicks, Bruno
Capelosa pieced together his second straight win by surprising
Jackson
Mora with head kicks and flying knees to setup a sequence of
five punches that ejected his opponent’s mouth piece and closed his
eyes for the evening. The official time of the stellar knockout was
4:28 of round one.
